Here's a link for the Gotoh truss rod offered by Grizzly Tools.

Anyone tried them? Price looks good. Any reason they wouldn't work in
John's CNC necks?

I may order one to take a look. Humm? A 2 way C-channel design I have not figured out how in my mind yet and the photo do not show both ends.

I know, I wish it showed oth ends

I also found this from the Gotoh site

Still not a ton of info but at least both ends are visible.

Chris,

I think they are the same as these - item 9587. If so I have used them for all of my instruments so far and they are great 2 way adjusting rods.Dave White39064.7274421296

I've used those as well Dave, and yes I liked them. Don't Gotoh make them for Martin?

Dave,
These appear the same as what you have used in the past.
Have you had to use a fillet with these or does it fit snugly in the channel
with no rattle? Does the flat side of the aluminum chassis go down in the
slot or up against the fretboard?

Thanks,
Chris

Chris,

The rods fit snugly in an 11mm routed slot - no rattle. The flat metal side goes against the fretboard, You can do them with or without a wooden fillet but now I use a fillet as I like the flat wooden look of the neck before the fretboard is glued on:

I think Mario uses these - at least the one way version. I've been meaning to try them as I've used up my stash of Stewmac "Hotrods"...
